Where does reviewboard store the diffs? - review-board

Just start to use reviewboard,and I am so curious of where does reviewboard store the diffs?
Should it be stored in database?I can not find the details in the reviewboard official website.
Any hint will be appreciated!

Review board stores all details about reviews in a backend database that you specify during setup. I use it with MySQL. You can find the database settings in <RB home>/conf/settings_local.py file.
BTW, is there any reason why you need this information. If you are using RB, these things should be transparent to you.

Do I need GeoServer (or alikes) to provide shape files in a web app?

I am attempting to develop a web app with docker. I have tried to look around and have been confused with the essential components of making one. Please bear me if you see my question naive. This is my first attempt.
I would love to use docker - to make it light weight. I have Postgres/PostGIS as data storage.
The question is - I am not going to provide geotiff files (no raster layers), but only shape files that people can download to make their own desk-top version maps. I am also not going to provide maps (so no need to have open layers and such). Do I need GeoServer? Would GeoDjango and PostGIS in a docker environment work well enough?
Thank you for your help.
Geoserver is (as the name implies) a server to share geospatial data.
Essentially you want to serve shapefiles stored in your application's database so GeoDjango can handle that and you will need to provide the appropriate views to access these data.
You can do the same by deploying a dockerized instance of a Geoserver (there are some ready-made docker images for that) to serve your data, but since you will only serve shapefiles without any processing made on them (and you don't need to server rasters) this may be an overkill.

Use custom HRTF with Google Resonance

I'm currently looking into use a particular HRTF database in Unity using Google Resonance. However, I can't find documentation regarding this possibility. Could anyone help me?
Thank you very much!
The Resonance Audio SDKs use a custom HRTF database under the hood, it's not possible to replace it via an external set.
That said, you can refer to the corresponding spatial-audio section in the public spatial-media repo on GitHub for further information and resources regarding the HRIRs that are used.

How do I clean xDB in Sitecore?

Have recently tried working with xDB in Sitecore 8 and now looking for the way of cleaning out current stats from xDB without re-installing Sitecore. I deleted data files for Mongo (as was suggested) but still see figures in Analytics in Sitecore; also did iisreset but also did not help. What am I doing wrong? (I am new to Sitecore so might be missing something).
Have you tried to clean-up only MongoDB files, without Reporting database?
If yes, I think that is a point of your confusion. The way it works in xDB is that all tracking analytics data is written into Mongo and then by SessionEnd processed and saved into Reporting database, that is SQL database, same way as it was before previously in DMS. In that case you need to clean that database as well.
If you have access to SQL, you may use __DeleteAllReportingData stored procedure as the quickest:
More correct approach that goes well for instances where there is no direct access to DB is using admin tool for that located at /sitecore/admin/RebuildReportingDB.aspx. Also there was a module Analytics Database Manager previously, however I do not know its current state.

Migrating Sitecore 6.6 to Sitecore 8

Recently Sitecore 8 has released and it has came up with lot of exciting new features. So our team decided to move from Sitecore 6.6 to Sitecore 8. Before migrating, i would like to know what all things i should be having in handy. Such as, .net Framework, Hardware configuration, environment etc.
Also, i would like to know the procedure to migrate from 6.6 to 8? I, never involved in sitecore migration project before. Please suggest me some good articles or post here your thoughts.
Thanks in advance. :)
See the Sitecore Compatibility Table for the .NET Framework, SQL Server version and Windows version.
Two common approaches.
1) Follow the Sitecore upgrade path.
2) Package the content, and start with a clean install.
Currently I working on a upgrade with an scripted upgrade that follow the Sitecore path. So I can easy repeat the steps and have the latest content in the databases.
I have some of my findings put down here Sitecore update and modules this article contain also a Related links section. Such as the upgrade white paper from Varun
Depending on how 'cluttered' your existing instance is, you may also want to consider installing a fresh copy of Sitecore 8 and then migrate your data/code to avoid all the hops that would be necessary to get to 8.
May be the following blog might help. Take a look at it.
https://varunvns.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/sitecore-version-upgrade-whitepaper/
I would recommend you make a backup of your site to use as a "sandbox" for the upgrade. Copy your databases and the web root for your site to a new location and then set up an IIS site with appropriate permissions pointing to your copy, and change your connection strings in the copy to point to a copy of the databases you backed up.
Perform the update there and ensure everything is working correctly. Work slowly to make sure you are following instructions correctly and note any special actions you had to take to perform the upgrade. Once you have it upgraded, perform the same process on the "real" site.
If you work with a Sitecore partner, I would highly encourage you to discuss the process with them to learn more specifics about the risks and challenges you may encounter during your upgrade.

JZ0SJ: Metadata accessor information was not found on this database

I have problem with my ColdFusion application. When I try to log into my account it generates the following error
JZ0SJ: Metadata accessor information was not found on this database.
Please install the required tables as mentioned in the jConnect documentation.
I am using SQL Anywhere 9 and also jConnect-6_0. Can anyone help me with this please.
It seems no one ever properly answered this.
Just in case it comes in handy (though I'd never recommend using this database),
to solve the above problem, install the metadata tables. Run the following statement being the only account connected to the database:
ALTER DATABASE Upgrade JCONNECT ON
As mentioned in the Sybase documentation.
